Something very beautiful and correct that all the transplant yuppie couples on Love is Blind Boston are crashing and burning but the townie couple bonding over the Providence Place Mall and fantasizing about having a finished basement are in true love

The Democrats can't wait out God.
From me, on the disastrous suggestions of the failed 2010s school of thought that said "just wait and change nothing, and enough atheists will emerge".
This was always a stupid strategy.

Question 3 is a power grab, plain and simple. It is a billionaire, private equity-backed scheme to rig our elections, to tilt the playing field, and make it harder for working-class people to run for office and to win.
And I want to be clear about who stands to lose if this harmful ballot measure is passed next month.
It is the single mom working two jobs who wants to fight for affordable housing in the State House.
It is the union organizer who has spent a lifetime fighting for workers' rights and wants to bring that fight to Congress.
It is the community advocate who knows what it means when your neighborhood is overlooked, your school is underfunded, your family is struggling to make ends meet, and wants to do something about it.
It's the first-time candidate who doesn't have a rolodex of wealthy donors or millions of dollars to spend on television ads.
Question 3 would stack the deck against those people and hand even more power to those who already have too much of it.
If we're serious about reforming elections, we should pass Ranked Choice Voting. We should lower the voting age. And we should vote YES on Question 4 to make Election Day voter registration a reality in Massachusetts.
But Question 3 ain't it.
Massachusetts must Vote NO on Question 3 to stop billionaires from buying our elections and keep power in the hands of the people.

Also the other thing a lot of you On Here don't want to hear is that ripping an independent critic to shreds for paying to go to his local theater and see a movie in defense of the absurd behavior of a multibillion dollar studio is ridiculous and you really should sit with that.

One more thing on Clayface: I have worked at Deadline, THR, the Associated Press, and People Magazine to name several….not a single one of them views embargoes the way the people bashing this critic/defending WB do. An embargo requires you to agree. Explicitly.

Per this Clayface embargo drama: It’s rare but sometimes a reviewer WILL find themselves in a position of seeing a film in a circumstance outside of a press screening where an embargo is not given. When you see something at a public screening, there are almost never embargoes.
